In addition to Giacomelli's mail I inform you you can find
text-processing and viewing software in the anonymous site:
ftp.sunet.se
in subdirectory /pub/text-processing/postscript

use 'uncompress'
also, we know that we can print out postscript files, but how do we
edit
them?
As you may observe fromt the discussions on the list, this is a BIG
problem.
In 99% of the cases, you may preview your file with some packages
(ghostview for instance), but editing is something you should usually
do
before creating a ps file

There are several "zipping" packages available that will uncompress
your
files. Try an "unzip" or "gunzip" command.
I found that you can edit postscript files using UNIX's vi editor. The
problem is reading the script. It will take awhile but after spending
some
time you'll begin to make some sense out of the PS gibberish. At the
start of each page is a header listing the page numbers of the
previous
and next page. Use these as guides to move around in the
document.
Good luck,
